The Science Literacy Project is a series of intensive, six-day training workshops in which journalists gain a deep understanding of the science that underlies today's advances, and the intricacies of reporting about it.

We are looking for news and public affairs journalists who report on science, health, environment or technology issues—as well as editors, news directors and general assignment reporters—who seek concentrated training in science journalism and creative use of the radio medium.

Applicants must be frequent contributors to national, regional or local news or public affairs programs for public or community radio stations.

We recruit and select twelve participants for each workshop through a competitive process designed to maximize ethnic, racial and gender diversity and to include those from rural and minority-controlled stations and networks.
